CVE-2026-5769

Status: Undergoing AnalysisMedium (5.6)—

A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before 3.0.1 can have the Brocade Fabric OS switch admin password captured in plaintext within a memory swap file on the server hosting the Brocade SANnav Virtual Machine (VM). This can happen when the SANnav server encounters an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated admin user with access to the server hosting the SANnav to potentially view the memory swap file and access the password(s).

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
